I remember a Swarb interview a number of years back where he stated "I think Babbacombe Lee stinks now". But I don't know whether he feels the same way about it today. T-R |

Well Thor I have heard this myself. But this was my outlook, it was my introduction to fairport and I will love it for ever, even "when my breakfast goes quite rotten"!

I'd say Sandy was much more contented singing her own songs, so I'd say Unhalfbricking for her. Jules |

Martin - Meet On The Ledge
Iain - Book Song
Judy - Chelsea Morning
Sandy - Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
DM - Liege & Lief medley
Swarb - Rosie
Peggy - Dream Song
Jerry - Tokyo
Trevor - Polly On The Shore
Bruce - Royal Seleccion
And that's my era pretty much covered....

I too think the album thing is too difficult, but songwise... Some of the people are too difficult to come up with one song for too... Also depends, in what kind of way do you mean "reflects"?
Simon - Neil Gow's Apprentice
Ric - Portmeirion
Chris L - Spring Song
Peggy - The Swirling Pit
Judy - Both Sides Now
Sandy - Farewell Farewell
Maart - Wounded Whale
RT - Jack O'Diamonds
Swarb - Rosie
BTW, welcome Nikki, you're doing fine - joined in so seamlessly there nobody else noticed!

Album's are quite difficult to alocate a band member too because each member brings something different to that album. So here are my song suggestions
Simon - Who Knows Where the Time Goes
Chris - My Love is in America
Peggy - Cocktail Cowboy (i know it's not an FC track)
Ric - Portmeirion
Gerry - Willow Creek
DM - Tam Lin
Maart - The Wounded Whale
Swarb - The Lark Medley or Dirty Linen
Bruce - Reynard the Fox
Sandy - Who Knows Where the Time Goes
Trevor - Bring 'Em Down or Polly on the Shore
Jerry - One More Chance or The Claw
RT - Sloth (any version that he plays)
Ashley - Come All Ye
Ian - Tale in Hard Time
Judy - Chelsea Morning
Martin - A Sailor's Life

Have just found this thread (and indeed every thread as I haven't had time to get on line for a while). As far as songs go, my list would probably be a combination of those mentioned above. I thought Maart had maybe been poorly served but the someone mentioned The Wounded Whale which I think is spot on. That or A Surfeit of Lampreys. Just for the hell of it though, here are a few alternative suggestions that come to mind quickly when I think of the individuals involved:
Swarb - Hexamshire Lass
Peggy - Polly On The Shore
Jerry - One More Chance
Ric - Portmeiron
Chris - John Gaudie
Ashley - Mr Lacey
Simon - Wat Tyler, because he co-wrote it and it's humanity seems very much of the man himself.
Martin - Si Tu Dois Partir
DM - Something from Angel Delight. He is all over that album. Perhaps Journeyman's Grace
Bruce - Royal Seleccion No 13 (or whatever it is called. Sorry, don't have it handy)
Gerry - Western Wind
I think Book Song, I Don't Know Where I Stand and Poor Will are on the nose for Iain, Jude & RT ashas already been noted.

Bah, Cat on the mixer is much better in my eyes. Or even Con Casey's Jig / Tripping Up The Stairs And Innstuck is such a lilty fun piece. But to each their own.

And Innstuck is such a lilty fun piece. But to each their own.

Simon-Claudy Banks
Peggy-Dirty Linen (love the entire thing, but I LISTEN for Peggy's bass)
Ric-Portmeirion, (or The Rose Hip, tough choice)\
Chris-John Gaudie
Gerry-Let There Be Drums (live, I know, but damn good)
Richard-Farewell, Farewell
Swarb-Rosie
Trevor-Polly On The Shore
Sandy-Who Knows Where The Time Goes
Jerry-maybe an odd choice, but Possibly Parsons Green
Iain-Nottamun Town
DM-Lark In The Morning Medley-influential, maybe without him ever knowing it!
Ashley-same as DM, I think all his interest in dance music came from that track
Martin-A Sailor's Life-for what could have been
Maartin-Innstuck
Judy-Both Sides Now
Bruce-Orange Blossom Special
Everyone else-thanks for the memories, and keeping it going but, well.....
